According to bbc:
Climate change is affecting the speed of the Earth’s rotation and could impact how we keep time, a study says.Accelerating melt from Greenland and Antarctica is adding extra water to the world’s seas, redistributing mass.That is very slightly slowing the Earth’s rotation. But the planet is still spinning faster than it used to.The effect is that global timekeepers may need to subtract a second from our clocks later than would otherwise have been the case.
“Global warming is already affecting global timekeeping,” says the study, published in the journal Nature.
